Li Huamei's worries were eliminated, but Oda Yoshinobu thought of another thing, that is, is his current power a little big?

Well, speaking of which, Oda Yoshinobu has never considered anything about the success of the Lord before, but now, in Li Huamei's worries, he suddenly discovered a problem, that is, compared to Oda Nobunaga, his power in the Oda family is not inferior at all.

On Ishitaka, the four counties of Owari plus Ise-Shima Province are nearly 700,000, and this is because many parts of Chita County and Ise Province have not been fully developed. If you really do it all, I'm afraid it will be nearly 800,000 koku, and that's not counting the Ezo side. And what about Oda Nobunaga? Although nominally it occupies the five provinces of Mino, Owari, Mikawa, Ise, and Shima.

But carefully calculated, Ise Shima is in the hands of Oda Yoshinobu, Mikawa is in the hands of Matsudaira Ieyasu, and there are also many places in Owari and Mino that are the territory of the wealthy clans in the territory, and the places that are really under his direct jurisdiction are not much more than Oda Yoshinobu. And this is because the Iwakura Oda family and many wealthy families in Mino were wiped out by Oda Nobunaga, so they can have such a large territory.

Looking at the influence again, Oda Nobunaga single-handedly developed the Oda family to this point, which is naturally a great contribution, but how many of them are Oda Yoshinobu's great efforts? Too much, too much...... Since the Battle of Inayu, Oda Yoshinobu has participated in almost all the battles of the Oda family, and in every battle, he has been the first to fight. In particular, the attack on Mikawa, the assessment of Mikawa and the attack on Ise almost relied on his ability alone.

In the people, Oda Yoshinobu was very popular with the common people, and I don't know if Oda Nobunaga wanted to erect such an image as Oda Yoshinobu, so in many cases, such as when promulgating the Oda family domain, Oda Yoshinobu's name was also written.

Well, although those were indeed proposed by Oda Yoshinobu, Oda Nobunaga's doing so undoubtedly made Oda Yoshinobu's influence on the civilians in the territory to a higher level. In particular, the advent of reserve military service gave civilians an easy opportunity to become samurai, and it made Oda Yoshinobu's reputation skyrocket.

Even in the hearts of some civilians, Oda Yoshinobu was really the reincarnated deity of Susanoo, and his wooden statue was enshrined in his home. In this case, if this thing of the academy comes out again, I'm afraid that in the hearts of ordinary people, Oda Yoshinobu will really be canonized.

However, strictly speaking, in this era, no matter how high the influence in the private sector is, it is difficult to form any threat. After all, you are not one of those religious leaders of the Sect, otherwise the emperor's classmates would not have been able to obtain rights for hundreds of years. What really threatens is Oda Yoshinobu's influence in the retainers.

First of all, it's the Mikawa Matsudaira family. The reason why the Matsudaira family surrendered was because of Oda Yoshinobu, and the reason why Matsudaira Ieyasu completely became a retainer of the Oda family was because of Oda Yoshinobu. Subsequently, Oda Yoshinobu became Matsudaira Ieyasu's stepfather, and saved the Matsudaira family in the same way.

Putting aside what Matsudaira Ieyasu himself thinks, at least, among the retainers of the Matsudaira family, there are countless retainers who are extremely respectful of Oda Yoshinobu. And Matsudaira Ieyasu once said that the Matsudaira family will always be on the side of Oda Yoshinobu. In this way, if Oda Yoshinobu really has any disobedience, will the Matsudaira family help Oda Nobunaga or Oda Yoshinobu? It's hard to say.

In addition, among the other Oda retainers, the high-ranking Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori and others also had a very good relationship with Oda Yoshinobu. Because as true samurai, they are quite respectful of Oda Yoshinobu's exploits simply by virtue of their own martial arts. So no one has ever talked about Oda Yoshinobu's origins, although in fact Oda Yoshinobu is just the adopted son of a ninja, and God knows what the hell he came from.

At the same time, Niwa Nagahide and others are good brothers with Oda Yoshinobu, although they are also Oda Nobunaga's childhood friends, and if they really fight, they will definitely support Oda Nobunaga, but as long as some people in their family are not so resolute, then Oda Nobunaga will be very troublesome.

Of course, despite all these factors, it is impossible for Oda Yoshinobu to rebel, and Oda Nobunaga also believes in Oda Yoshinobu. But I have to say that it is because there are so many factors that Oda Yoshinobu has to think about it.

After all, in his previous life, Oda Yoshinobu had already seen too many of the endings of the so-called meritorious masters. Even if you don't have an idea, what about your own retainers? Although Zhao Kuangyi has a heart of disobedience, if there is no retainers who forcibly add yellow robes, then he can only helplessly accept the fate of his courtiers for the rest of his life.

And speaking of which, Oda Yoshinobu didn't want to spend half a day in the four counties of Owari and end up working in vain. Because in history, Owari and Mino were eventually taken back by Oda Nobunaga. Although the wealthy families in both places were given more territory, it was also an indisputable fact that their original territories were recovered. Because Oda Nobunaga wants to leave his birthplace to his heirs.

If Oda Yoshinobu takes it back after it has developed very well, then even if he doesn't say it, his heart will not be very happy. After all, developing a territory not only requires a lot of mental and financial resources, but also a lot of time. So instead of being taken back, Oda Yoshinobu took the initiative to return it to Oda Nobunaga.

Thinking of this, Oda Yoshinobu made a decision and hurriedly summoned all his retainers to hold an assessment. However, these retainers do not include the wealthy families of Ise. Because in the eyes of Oda Yoshinobu, they are not his own retainers, at most they are just a local village head. Okay, isn't this kid no longer exclusively for famous generals? How is it still this virtue?

But you can't blame Oda Yoshinobu, who really makes him look down on those so-called samurai who are just better than civilians? If it weren't for the conditions, he would have directly demoted all those guys to civilians.

Of course, Oda Yoshinobu doesn't really intend to give them any chances, if in the future, their performance can satisfy Oda Yoshinobu, Oda Yoshinobu will not hesitate to accept them as retainers and include them in the decision-making level.

Glancing around at everyone, Oda Yoshinobu said directly, "I plan to return the four counties of Owari to my brother." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was suddenly quiet, everyone blinked, looked left and right, and then took a closer look at Oda Yoshinobu, the expression, no matter how you look at it, it seems that they don't understand the situation.

After half a ring, Li Huamei asked weakly, "My lord, what do you ......mean?"

"My meaning is very simple, that is, to return the territory of the four Owari counties to my brother." Oda Yoshinobu repeated, he naturally expected the shock of everyone, after all, in this era, how could a samurai take the initiative to return his territory to the lord's family? You must know that sometimes just a little confiscation of territory because of a mistake may lead to a rebellion of the wealthy clan. And the four counties of Owari add up to more than 100,000 stones!

"Lord...... This ......" Keiji Maeda opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Well, could he say, "My lord, are you in a bad mind?" However, although he did not say it, his expression clearly revealed his thoughts.

Moreover, the other people also seemed to have similar thoughts to Keiji Maeda, with a face, "Lord, do you have a problem with your brain today?" ”

However, Li Huamei guessed Oda Yoshinobu's thoughts, after all, she is from the Ming Kingdom, and she obviously knows some things better than the Japanese. "Lord, do you think that the strength of your family is almost the same as that of Your Highness now?"

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu nodded, "Yes, although the Shigao of the current family has not yet inspected the land, it is believed that it is around 6 or 700,000, and the elder brother's direct territory Shigao is estimated to be more than this." Isn't it weird that way? Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

"And more importantly, among the current family, apart from me, the largest territory should be the Matsudaira family, but Ieyasu himself is the daimyo of Mikawa after all, although it has declined, but the influence is still there. And because Sanhe is too barren, although it has a whole country, it is only more than 200,000. Among the other retainers, the only ones with the highest stone height were Sakuma-sama and Shibata-sama, and they were less than 100,000 stone ......," Oda Yoshinobu continued.

"Yes...... But after all, this is what we knocked down! Keiji Maeda said with a slight stammer.

"We defeated Ise and Shima, but the four counties of Owari were given to ......me by the lord on his own initiative," Oda Yoshinobu glanced at him and explained in a deep voice.

At this time, Shigeharu Takenaka on the side spoke, "My subordinates agree with the lord's decision." ”

"Takenaka-sama?!" Everyone looked at Shigeharu Takenaka in shock, and only Li Huamei and Fernande agreed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the lord said, the lord's territory is too big now, although His Royal Highness and the lord are like brothers, but if this goes on for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that other retainers will not have other ideas." Shigeharu Takenaka said loudly.

"And I believe that His Royal Highness must also have this idea, not to be suspicious of the lord, but to consider the balance of the retainers!" Shigeharu Takenaka slowed down and said again, "So, I agree with the lord's decision." And with the current momentum of the lord and the Oda family, I believe that the more than 100,000 stones will soon be able to have it again. ”
